Check out this beautiful new colorway of Kathie Olivas’ Bobbi the Cat resin figure! The Snowflake Edition Bobbi was cast in rotocast resin and then hand painted by Olivas with oil and acrylic paints. I love the way the pink and orange paint really pops on Bobbi’s white body. Each figure stands 6” tall and features one point of articulation (at the head). Limited to just 13 pieces, collectors can purchase the Snowflake Bobbi resin figure by Kathie Olivas now at the Circus Posterus online store for $225.

Earlier this week Kidrobot surprised Gary Baseman fans with the release of this retailer exclusive colorway of Gary’s popular Ahwroo vinyl figure! The KR exclusive Metallic Ahwroo is the figure’s second colorway and is limited to just 130 pieces. Ahwroo debuted in Baseman’s 2012 exhibition “Vicious” that showed in Milan, Italy at Antonio Colombo Arte Contemporanea. Ahwroo appears in dozens of drawings and paintings cavorting in a mostly gray world. He engages with other Ahwroos, other creatures, and girls with hollowed out eyes. He’s obnoxious and aggressive, clever, curious.

Ahwroo only wants some attention and affection, and draws blood when he doesn’t get it. When Gary created Ahwroo, he stood for hunger and the drive that humans can have when they want so badly something or someone unattainable. Each figure stands 7.5” tall, comes packaged in a full color window box perfect for display, and retails for $70.

Today, Mondo teams up with artist Boris Pelcer to release a new movie poster for Stanley Kubrick's iconic film, A Clockwork Orange! Pelcer’s unsettling take on the film reminds us of how terrifying the film is, even if just below the surface.

As Boris explained, “Stanley Kubrick was notorious for not doing interviews. He wanted people to enjoy his movies, his art form, and connect with his work on a personal level. He did not want the viewers to be influenced by his description of what his movies are supposed to mean. He simply let his movies take on whatever meaning it had for the viewer. Likewise, rather than describing my interpretation of A Clockwork Orange, I want the poster to speak for itself and let the viewers connect with it without the influence of my words.”

A Clockwork Orange by Boris Pelcer is a 24”x36” hand numbered screen print. Limited to just 275 pieces, this movie poster will go on sale at a random time today, Thursday, January 31st, at the Mondo online store for $60.
